TokenSpeed Module Applications
This chapter provides information about typical uses of the TokenSpeed module
to improve network performance. The chapter includes information about the
following uses:
•
Giving a server a dedicated port (see this page)
•
Segmenting a ring (see
page 2-2
)
•
Replacing a source route bridge or router (see
page 2-5
)
•
Concentrating rings into a router (see
page 2-5
)
Giving a Server a Dedicated Port
You can improve server response and increase throughput capacity by giving a
server a dedicated port on the TokenSpeed module.
Note:
Giving a server a dedicated port on the TokenSpeed module need not
increase the source route hop count. You can maintain or even decrease the
source route hop count by assigning the server to the same virtual ring as its
communicating stations (refer to Using SpeedView 2.1 for Windows.)
